What Happens After Surgery?

How long will I take to recover?

3 – 4 weeks for lumpectomy & mastectomy.

Note: Recovery time differs for each patient, depending on the severity of cancer and the extent of surgery.

6 – 8 weeks for those who opt for Breast Reconstruction after their mastectomy.

However, depending on the type of reconstruction done, it may take longer to recover.

What additional treatments will I need?

Radiation therapy may be required a few weeks after your procedure.

Depending on your condition, other types of treatment may include:

  • Hormone therapy
  • Chemotherapy
  • Targeted therapy

Are there non-surgical treatment options for hand and wrist conditions?

Yes, most hand and wrist conditions can be managed with non-surgical options. These include physical therapy, splinting, medications, and injections. Surgery is typically only considered if conservative treatments are ineffective or the condition is severe.

What will my breasts look like after surgery?

Breasts After Lumpectomy
  • Your breast should be very similar to what it looked like before surgery. However, depending on the size of the lump, your breast may look smaller.
  • You will also have scars at the surgical site.
Breasts After Mastectomy
  • You will have a flat chest on the side where your breast was removed.
  • You will also have scars at the surgical site.
Breasts After Mastectomy with Reconstruction Surgery
  • You will have a breast-like shape, but it will not look like it did before surgery.
  • Scars will form at the site where the skin is stitched to create a new breast-like shape.
